In the 6th round of the FIDE Grand Prix in Spain, Levon Aronyan drew level with Russian Pyotr Svidler. During the 18th step of the game, our chess player took  a long time to decide on which option the attack was worthy. After thinking for 22 minutes, he chose the horse version, which, according to the computer program, was not so dangerous attack. As a result, after six steps, the chess players made a concession to repeat the position twice. Levon Aronian scored 4 points and maintained his leading position. Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Harikrishna and Dmitry Yakovenko can become equal to our chess player if only they win their plays today, but, irrespective of this, our chess player will remain in the first place.
